This natural “Obelisk” doesn’t really fit that definition (its neither point enough at the top nor square enough in its cross section),...

This is one of the funkiest trees I’ve ever seen, also at Fuerte Bulnes in Patagonia.

Bushes shake in the wind, the same wind that each night sweeps these dunes clean.
